Appendix D: The LK461 Keyboard
Some of the computers manufactured by Compaq
®
subsidiary Digital Equipment
Corporation come with a special keyboard called the DEC LK461. The ServSwitch
supports this keyboard by passing through unaltered the scan codes of certain
proprietary keys (such as [Help] and [Do]) and remapping others (such as [PF1]
through [PF4]). The ServSwitch maps the special keys of the LK461 as shown in
the table below. Note that the LK461 has no Num Lock LED and its Hold Screen
LED is equivalent to the Scroll Lock LED on other keyboards.

**This mapping varies by country; that is, the key is mapped differently depending on what
keyboard country or language the CPU is configured to accept.
